No Words

Okay, aside from these words right here. Some of my photography. Trying to see the everyday as more than mundane.



Right now I am obsessed with the depth of focus shots. I am so amazed that the camera does things that I want it to do, but WAYYY better than I could have imagined!

Does anyone else amaze themselves with what they get from the lens?

DIY Kitchen Drawer Liners

So, I am a bit crafty, but the visions for projects do not always appear in reality as they do in my head. Oh well. So I wanted to remove the Christmas wrapping I had lining the kitchen drawers, and figured I would use the tons of scrapbooking paper I have lying around. And to add to the cleanups in the future rather than throwing the next liner away, I decided to use contact paper to cover the paper. That way I could just wipe it off and reinsert.

Seems easy enough right?....Riiiight.

Typography Experiment 2: "Bear Huntin' Time"

I know the title seems off for a vegan lover o' the animals, but wait.

NYC Through the Lens

I had a great day walking through the wonderful city that is New York the other day. Armed with the camera, hubby and good friends, I walked the heck out of that town!

Typography Experiment 1

I love looking through the web for cool typography posters. Good design really is making the complex look simple. Here are a couple of my attempts.




It took me a while to figure out how to do this in Photoshop, and now, I have learned that these bad boys could be a breeze (sorta) in Illustrator! I am so ready to tackle some more typography pics.

"Vegan" Wine Glass




I have wanted to do this project for some time. At one point, it was a lofty idea to create these glasses with etchings for some kind of event, but then time wore on and I just never got around to it.

Freebie on Friday

Here is a little calendar I have been working on...

I have put myself to the task of creating a calendar that is not the conventional one. It is a challenge to push my creativity to think out of the box literally — get it? (Calendars are all boxy... moving on!)

So for the month of February I went with a legal sized sheet of paper and rather than the lovey-dovey junk of Valentine's, I put in some interesting animal facts and poignant quotes about the beings that we share this  planet with. The layout is slightly different to a traditional calendar, with room to write a few things... I will keep playing with the layouts...
